Replacement Weight Distribution System Shank with 6 Inches of Drop
Question:
I have a distribution hitch but the drop is about 6 in short for use on my Motorhome. Can you recommend what products might help to use same distribution hitch on my Motorhome.. I was looking at MT70197 or a longer adjustable hitch?

Expert Reply:
It sounds like you need a shank with at least 6 inches of drop to go with your weight distribution system. The Curt # C17124 will give you up to 10 inches if you system uses round spring bars or 9 inches if the bars are trunnion bars. Either will be plenty for what you're looking for.
Adjustable ball mounts like the one you mentioned will not work with a weight distribution system.
